A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Armageddon's Satirical Bonding

 

 

resurrection alley

the bums become

President

of a nuclear wasteland

preaching from cardboard dais

"this is how it's gonna be, people"

 

quarters for bottles of wine

cigarettes

and a congress filled with bins

of stalemated bills----

run away from what you owe

it is time for a change

 

get off my corner

i'm panhandling here

we cannot all sleep under 

the same old coat

the patches don't match

with what seams real.

There's much sabre rattling coming from the Kremlin and other quarters.. If it goes nuclear there won't be anything left. It will all be wasteland. End of. Now there's a thought to contemplate. All sides know what the stakes are.

He may be crazy but I am not sure his Generals are. I hope they aren't as crazy as him

The irony in this one is so thick you could cut it with a knife. If anyone survives WW3 it will be roaches and bums. Of course, some of the bums will be politicians. Actually, that won't be a change at all.

and the roaches will probably reject what we have left them.
thank you, John,

It's all a slippery sloped tug of war, disguised as one side or the other failing to operate upon bipartisan principles, used to disguise the reality that the word politician is pidgeon talk for criminals of organized crime, and we the people, are the victims of said crimes, for We Are Sheeple-People Cattle--One & All ( https://www.writerscafe.org/writing/FlynndeGraham/2817220/ )

Keep preaching the truth ... Hell, one day a few folks might actually listen, wake up, and wise up ...

Very thought-provoking, J. Wish I were as able to generate so much stuff daily! I'll continue to try, no doubt. Thanks, JEC!

A Painting of a Nightmare… in a short Span of Time… a Glass of Wine at a Wedding where Vows were made… in Biblical Times .. the marriage at Canaan…
